Dark purple pea flowers cover the dense, bushy mounds in spring over short, slender evergreen leaves. It stays where you put it, so it suits groundcover, pots and low edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt does not climb or trail.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most coral peas scramble.

After that it manages dry spells, although coral peas flower better with reliable water. Reapply mulch and feed with a slow-release native fertiliser in spring, with phosphorus under 3 per cent, because hardenbergias are phosphorus-sensitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly prune only if it needs shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell Mini Haha Purple Coral Pea as tube stock (a young plant in an 80mm deep tube that establishes quickly), in 140mm pots in packs of 10 and in 200mm pots in packs of 6.
